How can I view all machine level environment variables using a single PowerShell command?

Question

I can use this to get all of the user environment variables:

Get-ChildItem -Path Env:\

and this to get a single environment variable:

[System.Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable('PATH','machine')

but what command can I use to view all machine level environment variables?

The System.Environment class has another static method GetEnvironmentVariables() (note the trailing "s"). You can call it without argument to get all environment variables (similar to Get-ChildItem env:), or with the same arguments as the second parameter of the GetEnvironmentVariable() method to get the variables for a particular target (e.g. machine, user, or process).

This will do what you want:

[Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariables('machine')
